Sex and Broadcasting

About This Movie

Sex and Broadcasting is a fascinating dive into the quirky world of WFMU, that offbeat New Jersey radio station. It’s not just about music; it’s about the people, the culture, and the struggle to keep this unique voice alive amidst the pressures of mainstream commercialism. The pacing is just right, weaving personal stories with the broader narrative of radio in crisis. Tim K. Smith captures that sense of rebellion and passion so well, you almost feel like you’re part of the station’s odd family. There’s a rawness to it, a sort of DIY spirit that resonates. The characters are compelling, each with their own eccentricities, and it’s a reminder of how vital such places are in a homogenized media landscape.
